DOVER CASTLE YIELDS GRIM WARTIME SECRET BY JOHN YOUNG.
ANOTHER WARTIME SECRET WILL BECOME PUBLIC ON THURSDAY WHEN THE UPPER LEVEL OF TUNNELS IN THE CLIFFS BENEATH DOVER CASTLE, KNOWN AS HELLFIRE CORNER, IS OPENED TO VISITORS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
THE UNDERGROUND WARREN, PARTS OF WHICH DATE FROM THE NAPOLEONIC ERA, HAS LONG BEEN THE SUBJECT OF MYSTERY AND SPECULATION. UNTIL 1988 ITS VERY EXISTENCE WAS OFFICIALLY A STATE SECRET, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT CHURCHILL WAS A REGULAR VISITOR IN THE EARLY PART OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR, WHEN HE DONNED A STEEL HELMET AND POWERFUL BINOCULARS TO SURVEY THE FRENCH COAST FROM WHAT WAS THEN THE BRITISH FRONT LINE.
SEVEN YEARS AGO THE GOVERNMENT HANDED THE TUNNELS OVER TO ENGLISH HERITAGE, WHICH BEGAN THE TASK OF REMOVING TONS OF ASBESTOS LINING, INSTALLING NEW LIGHTING AND MAKING THEM SAFE FOR VISITORS. THE MIDDLE LEVEL,CODENAMED CASEMATE, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY EXCAVATED TO GUARD AGAINST A FEARED FRENCH INVASION, AND IN 1940 BECAME THE SECRET COMMAND CENTRE FROM WHICH OPERATION DYNAMO, THE EVACUATION OF DUNKIRK, WAS DIRECTED, WAS OPENED TO THE PUBLIC IN 1990.
THE UPPER-LEVEL COMPLEX, KNOWN AS ANNEXE, INCLUDES THE HOSPITAL CONSTRUCTED IN 1941, WHICH WAS USED AS A WARTIME CASUALTY DRESSING STATION. MUCH OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN RESTORED AND EFFORTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO RECREATE THE WARTIME ATMOSPHERE. VISITORS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE WARDS, KITCHEN, CASUALTY RECEPTION AND OPERATING THEATRE WHERE HUNDREDS OF MEN FROM ALL THREE ARMED SERVICES WERE TREATED. SOUNDS, LIGHTING EFFECTS AND ARTIFICIAL SMELLS WILL TAKE VISITORS BACK TO THE TIME WHEN TROOPS AND CIVILIANS IN DOVER WERE UNDER ALMOST CONSTANT BOMBARDMENT, NOT ONLY FROM THE AIR BUT FROM SHORE-BASED CROSS-CHANNEL ARTILLERY BATTERIES.
"FOLLOWING THE ENORMOUS INTEREST IN HELLFIRE CORNER SINCE ENGLISH HERITAGE OPENED IT IN 1990, WE ARE DELIGHTED TO HAVE DEVELOPED A FURTHER LEVEL OF THIS UNIQUE MILITARY COMMAND CENTRE WHICH FOR MANY YEARS WAS ONE OF BRITAIN'S BEST-KEPT SECRETS," KEN SCOTT, GENERAL MANAGER OF DOVER CASTLE, SAID YESTERDAY.
"WE ARE SURE IT WILL PROVE TO BE A TREMENDOUS ATTRACTION IN WHAT IS ALREADY ONE OF ENGLISH HERITAGE'S MOST POPULAR PROPERTIES."
THERE ARE PLANS TO OPEN THE BOTTOM LEVEL, DUMPY, IN A FEW YEARS. EXCAVATED IN 1942, IT BECAME A NUCLEAR SHELTER AFTER THE WAR AND ONE OF A NUMBER OF EMERGENCY REGIONAL SEATS OF GOVERNMENT (RSGS) ESTABLISHED DURING THE COLD WAR TO HOUSE AN EMERGENCY ADMINISTRATION IF BRITAIN CAME UNDER NUCLEAR ATTACK.
TWO STILL DEEPER TUNNELS, ESPLANADE AND FOUNDATION, WERE PLANNED BUT NEVER BUILT. CONSTRUCTION DID BEGIN ON A LEVEL KNOWN AS BASTION, BETWEEN ANNEXE AND CASEMATE, AS AN INTENDED COMBINED OPERATIONS HEADQUARTERS. IT HAD TO BE ABANDONED BECAUSE OF SUBSIDENCE AND THE WORKINGS WERE SEALED OFF WITH BRICK WALLS, CHALK AND CONCRETE.
